clean gentleman 

the first part:

it’s being prepared by thinking ahead

like a post-it note reminding us

to pickup bread, or the kids, or eggs.

there’s comfort there; almost as if

the sticky little notes have taken us half-way

to the tasks we're reminded to accomplish

before we leave the house.

the second part:

God broke Adam’s rib for kicks

which led It to other sexually deviant

activities such as the invention of Eve.

God had a boner for Eve.

that's clear, but who can blame him?

what with her prancing across the garden on her tiptoes

plucking apples and bare-ass naked to boot!

the third part:

this poem is admittedly disjointed

but it's designed to be that way.

regardless, who has time to spend cobbling

just about anything to some sort of coherence

in the time of "click" and move on?

besides, the paperboy's delivery is on schedule for once,

and it's time to check the "personals" in the "classifieds"

where true love waits.
